Kinda looks like a flattop to me. I guess without a date of when the photo was taken we can't be sure. If Bill is in his early twenties in the photo then it might possibly be a KM-11.

I'm liking it so far!
It's another great place to share ideas and get positive feedback. Not really geared towards pro players, but I think it's great for amateurs and beginners and those of us who...

Just to clarify, I signed up for the Academy that was mentioned in post #5, not the Comprehensive Mandolin course. Two different options on Baron's site. You can sign up for either one or both.

I'm a bit late, but I signed up.

I'm fine with the basic black, but I also like this denim trucker that I got from Gil and Dave.:mandosmiley:

Yes. Instruments get shipped throughout the world on a daily basis with longer journeys and a lot less care than you're willing to give. Bring it and play it!

Just a thing to bring up and address is that not all Martins are the same size. I think the body width was a bit smaller in 1919. A custom order for cases might have to involve two different sizes.

A Steve Earle classic.

Mentions moonshining, but there might be something better.

I don't know how the ADHD mind works, but I prefer learning tunes over technique. I've been subscribing to John Reichsman's Old Time Course on Peghead Nation for the past year or so (NFI). I've...

You mentioned quartet. What's the story with the other two?

I only listened to the first couple of tunes from the first link, but it looks and sounds good.

When does the live stream happen?

Are you looking for this to be more of an interactive thing...

Not a bad way to spend four minutes and fifty one seconds.:mandosmiley:

That looks really cool, but I'm not crazy about the wide nut. It's about an eight hour drive to Cincinnati for me. Bids are low though.

Thanks J.C.
I did a little research. Mr. Nyberg builds some impressive looking instruments.

Congrats! The Classified link that Pheffernan posted is dead. I'd like to see what was purchased. It seems like it wasn't in the 14.25-14.50" scale range.

Looks great! I'm just curious about the trimmed tuner plates. Possibly they were replacements?

Maybe Bob Carlisle? "Butterfly Kisses" was a popular song in the nineties that was probably written for his daughter. Not sure how much mandolin he played.

It's in the Classifieds. NFI.

They look good. I think you should put them in the Classifieds. NFI.

Mostly The Gibson A1 played more melodically than polyphonically.211149

I've been slowly converting to this method. It takes some practice, but I think it's a good way to do it.

Other than trimming the strings there's no tools necessary.

I bend the loops with my...
